Commercial disputes
When you are embroiled in a commercial dispute, you do not want your lawyers to sit on the fence. You need straightforward, no-nonsense practical advice.
From the outset we will provide you with our definitive view on the merits of your case and firm recommendations as to how to proceed. Our team is acknowledged for its technical ability and solution driven approach to disputes.
We recognise that costs are a key driver in many commercial disputes so for us, its not just about hourly rates. Where appropriate, we offer capped and fixed fees as well as conditional fee arrangements. We will also explore the possibility of after the event insurance and third party funding with you. First and foremost we guarantee no nasty surprises. Whatever charging mechanism is agreed, we will provide clear estimates throughout and work to agreed budgets.
Our recent experience includes:
- Obtaining a substantial financial settlement for a food manufacturer without the need for court proceedings in a claim in respect of a defective product from overseas suppliers - the claim also involved product recall issues
- Successful striking out a test case against a motor manufacturer client where a union funded agency driver brought a claim for the same pension and other benefits as full time employees
- Negotiating a settlement for a provider of fleet management services in a multi-million pound breach of contract claim regarding excess and under mileage charges
- Contract disputes
